1) Derogatory term given to character designs mostly found in JRPGs, especially
anything involving Tetsuya Nomura. (
Final Fantasy, Kindom Hearts, etc)
Named for Nomura's excssive use of belts and zippers in his character designs, and the trend they started in other games which has
spread like a cancer.
2)Tetsuya Nomura himself.
<Person 1>
WTF? Why has Donald
Duck got a hat made of zippers!? Does that
guy really need that many belts?
<Person 2> Kingdom Hearts is really belts and zippers: the game.
Woah! That chick has a skirt made of belts! Belts and Zippers has really gone overboard on this one!
